Executive will lead U.S. power generation development supporting hyperscale and AI data center infrastructure

Joe Amara Executive Search is conducting a confidential search for a Chief Power Officer on behalf of a major digital infrastructure company. The executive will establish and lead the company’s power generation development strategy, supporting the expansion of its U.S. data center portfolio.

The company brings established capabilities in data center development, engineering, and construction and is expanding into dedicated, behind-the-meter generation to meet the power requirements of hyperscale and AI infrastructure customers.

The incoming Chief Power Officer will identify and advance large-scale generation opportunities, guide projects from site selection through investment readiness and execution, and build a dedicated power development organization. The role combines strategic leadership, commercial decision-making, and financial accountability.

Working alongside the company’s data center teams, the executive will evaluate natural gas reciprocating engines, combustion turbines, and other appropriate generation technologies. A central focus will be developing commercially viable assets that support customer demand while preserving flexibility for long-term ownership or potential acquisition by utilities and independent power producers.

Initial priorities include assessing the existing development pipeline, identifying additional sites with access to natural gas infrastructure and major transmission corridors, establishing relationships with utilities and generation partners, and building the team needed to support growth.

The search seeks an entrepreneurial leader with substantial experience developing large-scale power generation assets, strong commercial judgment, and a record of advancing complex projects through critical development milestones. Experience supporting hyperscale data centers is valuable, and leaders with substantial utility-scale generation development experience will also be considered.
